The PROGMEM macro equates to a GCC attribute for that variable to place that into the Flash (Program Memory). It is up to the user to know this and to use the related macros in avr-libc to correctly retrieve the data from Flash. The AVR is a Harvard architecture chip and until Address Spaces were added to GCC it didn't have a good way of knowing these address spaces and able to generate a warning. I'm marking this bug as WONTFIX, but I suggest that the bug reporter add their email address to the CC field of bug #49868 (address spaces on the avr).
